    Anybody still using and loving their Mi Max 3? I am, best phone I ever bought. Whats the current king of giant phablets though? I haven't looked in a year...

    Yep still have mine and loving it nearly a year later. A very slight hairline crack on the bottom of the screen but doesn't affect it in anyway and can't notice it when the screen is on.

    I'd be interested to know what the latest top phablet is aswell.

    Morning all.
    Have a Redmi Note 8T. Great phone, battery, camera very good. But I can't get it to connect to my Samsung Gear sports watch. So in two minds whether I'll keep it, it might make it's way to adverts. But I don't want to get something else and have the same problem.

    Can I ask what phones people are using that are connected to a watch? And what watch it is too?

    Thanks.

    Mi 8 and a mi-band 4 that up until recently worked flawlessly together.
    After the android 10 update, I had an issue with no notifications on the band.
    Tried everything, upto and including uninstall and reinstall before my dumbass realized I had somehow put the miband on DND mode.

    No working flawlessly again.

    Have you tried pairing them before going into the gear app setup?

    Hi there, is there any good recommendations for screen launchers for Redmi phones.? Thanks.

    Yes. When I try it, the watch says "check your phone to complete setup". Can't get it past that whether I use the app or not unfortunately.

    Apologies if this isn't the right thread, but does anyone know if there's a way of transferring preinstalled apps (e.g. gallery, calendar, notes, music player, messages, etc - all ad free!) from an old Samsung phone onto a Xiaomi Mi A3?

    I had a problem before pairing a wearos fossil before. I had to hard reset the watch, clear the BT connection, clear the app data and try again

    Thanks. Yeah, I've tried resetting the watch, removing and reinstalling the app, removed all connected Bluetooth devices. No joy.

    There ae a few ways, when you sign into the new phones play store, the apps should all be in there - top left three lines, and go to my apps. I can't remember exactly but should be there somewhere.

    Or you can download and sign into Super Backup & Restore and backup everything you want to backup, then download it on your new phone and restore them.

    Realme 5 Pro 8GB + 128GB is on amazon Spain for €219.99. If you send it to PW/PM/AP/PC it might be slightly cheaper and faster delivery

    No issues ordering through any of the Amazon sites. Have a check on www.hagglezon.com - it compares the different Amazon sites and see if its cheaper on the ES site.

    If NFC isn't a must-have feature, then I would go for the Realme 5 Pro.

    Hoping somebody here can help me. A friend of mine has a daughter who ordered a Xiaomi 9T from eGlobal, it now has a fault with the screen, after only maybe almost 2 months (not sure).
    I don't know what exactly the issue is, but she is adamant that she has not dropped it, nor got water damage or any fault due to her doing and I believe her.
    She has contacted eGlobal and they have asked her for photos and a video.
    She has asked me would I look at it and if I trust them.
    I don't trust them but not going to say that to her now, so I will try and advise her.
    Just wondering if anybody has rerurned items to them before and had any issues, and how long the process could actually take, or does actually take.
    A quick search doesn't look good - https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/aw130/
